It has in fact got a completely new way of looking at
the face for
that.
What new way ?
It emits a very large number of IR beams at the face
and records what comes back with the camera.
And what does it use to transmit those IR beams ?
That thing on the top of the phone, often called
the notch because thats what it looks like.
So all phones have this notch do they ?
The iphones that do facial recognition do.
But yuo can;t get facial recognition by just a software update
can you.
You needed new and extra hardware this meant a 2nd camera had to
be fitted to the iPhone, you clouldn't just download facial
recognition onto an old phone.
Apple doesn't seem to have them.
It isnt a physical notch, stupid.
Despite that though, the new iPhones lack one key hardware
featu an IR blaster. While Apple has never included an IR
blaster on an iPhone
Automatic cars don't need more hardware. They already have dozens
of cameras.
You need more than just cameras.
Ok maybe a microphone.

Fully autonomous driving by the model year 2021/2022 with security
level 4 or 5 requires the use of multiple redundant sensor systems.
Todays systems for semi-autonomous driving use various numbers and
designs of radar and camera systems. The design of high-resolution,
affordable LIDAR systems with ranges up to 300 m are still in the
pre-development stage.
As I've said there are NO driverless cars so no miles have been driven
by a driverless car they havent;l even reached that milestone ;-P
Apart from all the ones you keep quoiting as crashing.
Those are not driverless they are meant to have a driver in control.
But they manage without one, and probably better than a normal driver
controlled car.
I know you don;t understand this but it;s rather like lettign a 10
year-old drive a car sure they can do the basics they might even be able
to drive a few miles but put them on a busy road with other car users
andn they are far more likely to have a crash or cause one, that is why
10 year-olds aren;t allowed to drive even if yuo think they can.
Puttign a computer in crontol of a car is simialar that's why they need
constant testing and why a hum,an always has to be at the wheel.
No, test show they are 20 times better. Already.
You've never been able to cite any such test and google certainly can't find
it.
Lots of people have driven over a mile without an accident.
Can you do this?

Peace of **** easy, especaily with no other cars on the road ow many
times does that happen ?
That was racing driver standard, above what most road users can do.
Robertson says the technology is €œnot mature right now. The measure of
success is how many times the engineer has to get involved. And were
currently sitting at around three times [every 1,000 km]. Sounds pretty
good €¦ however, thats three times too many. It has to be perfect.€
So they want them perfect, doesn't mean they're not already better than
humans. Humans make a colossal amount of mistakes.
Now how about you showing me where I can buy one of these cars ?.
If they really are that goodm then we should be able to buy them and use
them as driverless cars.
dunno, go to America where they're not as up tight as us.
Still can't buy one there.
